The Van Keulenfjorden transect on Spitsbergen offers valuable insight into submarine processes, with well exposed seismic scale clinoforms of Paleocene and Eocene age, which show the distribution of sediments from deltaic to basin floor environments. Several progradational submarine fans are preserv...
